CHAPTER TWO: POISONOUS SMILESSERENA'S POV My thumb hovered over my phone as the call ended, but Caspian’s sharp voice cut through the doorway before I could decide what to do next.“Serena. Now.”I tossed the phone on the bed, my heart racing, and quickly threw on the emerald green gown he’d chosen for me. The fabric clung to my curves like a second skin, expensive and suffocating. I pinned my hair up, slapped on a smile that felt like a mask, and met him in the foyer.The ride to the charity gala was silent, and thick with tension. His hand rested possessively on my thigh the entire time, his thumb stroking absentmindedly as if marking territory. Every touch sent unwelcome heat through me, reminding me of how he’d fucked me senseless just hours ago. I hated how my body still ached for more even while my mind screamed for him to go to hell.Flashes of light exploded the moment we stepped out of the black car. I plastered on the perfect wife smile, leaning into Caspian’s side like t

CHAPTER FOUR: PRICE OF GRATITUDESERENA'S POVThe silence in the car was suffocating after Caspian’s warning. His words still burned against my swollen lips as the car pulled up to the mansion. I didn’t answer him then, and I wouldn’t now. Not when every instinct in my body screamed that telling him would only give him more power over me.We stepped inside the grand foyer, the echo of our footsteps is the only sound audible in the house. The gown suddenly felt too tight, too exposing. Caspian’s presence loomed behind me as he locked the door with a soft click that sounded final.“Strip Serena,” he ordered, his voice low and commanding.I froze halfway up the staircase, turning to stare at him. “W…what?”He loosened his tie slowly, his grey eyes darkening as they raked over me. “You heard me, darling wife. Take off the gown. Now.”My heart hammered in my chest. “Caspian—”“The treatment for your brother,” he cut in smoothly, stepping closer until I could smell his cologne mixed with t

CHAPTER SIX: UNCONTROLLED PULLCASPIAN'S POVThe boardroom was quiet except for the voice of the man presenting at the front. He was talking about quarterly numbers, merger risks, and some new market opportunities in Asia. I should have been listening. This meeting was important. Laurent International depended on decisions made in rooms like this one. But I couldn’t focus on shit. My mind kept drifting back to her.My wife.I sat at the head of the long table, my fingers tapping lightly on the polished wood. The other board members and executives watched me carefully. They always did. They knew I was the one who made the final calls. The one who could destroy careers with a single word. But right now, all I could think about was Serena on her knees last night. Her mouth around me. The way her eyes watered as she took me deep. The soft sounds she made even while she hated me. The way she looked when I pulled her off and kissed her before I left.She was probably still sleeping. Seren

CHAPTER EIGHT: ANGEL AND DEVILSERENA'S POVI stepped into the warm water. It felt good on my skin. Caspian pulled me down so I was sitting between his legs. My back rested against his hard chest. His arms wrapped around me. One hand rested on my stomach. The other lay on my thigh. I could feel how hard he was against my lower back. But he didn’t move to take me. Not yet.We sat there in the warm water. Steam rising around us. Caspian’s hand moved slowly on my skin. Up and down my thigh. Over my stomach. He kissed the side of my neck. Soft at first. Then harder. His teeth grazing my skin.“Tell me what you were really doing in my study, Serena,” he whispered against my ear.I closed my eyes. My body was reacting to his touch. My nipples were hard. Heat was building between my legs.“I told you,” I said quietly. “Research.”Caspian chuckled softly. His hand moved higher on my thigh. Closer to where I was already wet.“You’re still lying to me.”His fingers brushed between my legs. Teas

CHAPTER TEN: I’M SO FUCKEDSERENA'S POVI’m so fucked.That was the only thought running through my head as I stood in the doorway of the bedroom, my heart was beating so fast I thought it might burst out of my chest. I had just snatched the phone from Caspian’s hand like a crazy person. His eyes were locked on me, dark and suspicious. My palms were sweating. I could still feel the way he had looked at the screen with the name glowing on it.Did he see the name? Was he going to ask? I'm totally screwed.I was scared. Really scared.“I’m sorry,” I said quickly, trying to find an excuse. “I panicked.”Caspian didn’t buy it. He kept looking at me. His voice was calm but cold. “And why are you panicking?”I forced a smile that felt fake even to me. “You know I’m excited about Lucas’s treatment. That’s why. I just… got nervous.”Caspian gave me one more long look. He didn’t push it. He just picked up the documents from the bed and walked past me toward the study. The door closed behind him
